Flaky, golden, and stuffed with warm cinnamon-spiced apples, these turnovers are the kind of pastry that makes your kitchen smell absolutely incredible. The filling comes together in one saucepan — diced apples cooked down with butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a squeeze of lemon juice, then thickened with cornstarch so it stays perfectly saucy inside the pastry without turning soggy. The classic egg wash gets swapped out here for dairy free milk, which still gives you that gorgeous deep-golden color and a light sugar crunch on top without any compromise on texture or flavor. A simple powdered sugar glaze drizzled over the warm pastry takes these from weeknight treat to something that genuinely looks bakery-worthy. Each sheet of puff pastry cuts into six rectangles, so you get a generous batch that serves six — ideal for a weekend brunch spread or a cozy dessert. They bake up puffed and crisp in under 25 minutes, which means you're never far from a warm, flaky turnover on the table.
